Karl Rhoads, State Senate District 13

“I am greatly honored that the voters of Senate District 13 have entrusted me to represent them in the State Senate for the next four years. With your support I intend to follow in the footsteps of my remarkable predecessor, Senator Susie Chun Oakland, who represented the area for 26 years. I plan to continue her work on reducing homelessness and on fighting for those who struggle to have their voices heard.”

As a member of the Senate, I will build on the record that I established during my ten years in the State House of Representatives, where I was able to provide funding to keep Kukui Gardens affordable, and to pay for the construction of the Senior Residence at Iwilei, an affordable building specifically for our kupuna. I will also continue my work to ensure that women have access to healthcare, that crime is addressed and that our schools receive the support they need to help our keiki succeed. To see my legislative record please go to Legislation.

Do not hesitate to contact me with questions about government policy or about neighborhood concerns. I am always happy to hear from you.
